Serious List of New Head Coach

Hedley Lamarr said:
Frost and Austin haven't been very friendly and have gotten into it a couple times. I know of 2 events at the country club and obviously after one of the games earlier this year. No clue on who Frost is thinking for a replacement. Honestly if you want to keep a trend of "Nebraska guys" John Garrison is a better OL coach than Greg Austin.

Lol did it involve booze

Isn't that where WE are??? With some breaks, we could make a bowl...honestly. Pelini took us to a bowl every year he was here. Granted he lost 4 and won 3, but WE WENT TO A BOWL. Went 1-1 under Riley. Sucks losing the lesser bowl games, have to be honest. The wins in those games aren't any better, but at least the kids get the experience. Frost has done squat. Zip. Nada. It's been awful. We ARE Indiana. I can't put Purdue in that sentence, because, frankly, they beat us and have some solid wins against great teams this season. Brohm has them moving up. While we plummet into new depths of mediocrity.

Year 5 for Brohm. Last 2 years he went 4-8 then 2-4

All those top 25 recruiting classes and 90k crowds I am surprised they have given him this long at a historical blue blood such as Purdue.

Brohm also inherited a team which was winless in the Big Ten, went to bowl games his first 2 years, including a signature win against Ohio State.  There was tangible progress being made, until the struggling the past 2 years.  This year, he has had a nice bounce back year.

 
Not trying to make comparisons just pointing out that while Brohm did get a winning season and 2 bowl games his first 2 years no one would have said he had them in an upward trajectory after last season.

 
Welp, Steve Sarkisian is now 4-5 at Texas this year.  Remember, he's was a Broyles Award winner for OC of the year (at Alabama, under Nick Saban).

Texas did win under Herman (Urban Meyer coaching tree).  This season was not a rebuild.  Yet, they are 4-5 with Sark.  Fortunately they have Kansas next week to get them back on track.

The point is you just never know I guess. :dunno

Texas will be better going forward; Lord knows what'll happen in the $EC, but he's definitely underperforming, even in their first season. Pruitt failed pretty badly at Tennessee, too. Just because a guy coached under Saban *cough*O'Brien*cough*, he isn't granted some kind of magical coaching powers that absolutely lead to conference championships and the Playoff.

Always has been and always will be a total crap shoot

Oh, I absolutely agree with that, and even though I don't totally agree, I see why you want Frost gone. But, I see a lot of people wanting certain coaches because they are part of the Saban coaching tree, like that guarantees anything.

Well Steve Sarkisian has hovered just above .500 his entire head coaching career so I am not surprised at the results this year at Texas.  Some guys are great coordinators but not great head coaches.
